RE: Big Amp Score



You might be running out of HVDC.  You might want to replace the rectifier
tube, and then the filter caps.

Subject: Big Amp Score



I was nosing around in my buddy's storage room when I came upon a
Stromberg-Carlson tube PA amplifier. I immediately relived him of the burden
of posessing such a device, took it home, replaced the 2 6L6GC power tubes
bought a cheapo Radio Shack 8 inch speaker for $20 wired it all up, turned
it on. It works... O happy Day. Its kinda loud, no feedback unless I put the
mic right in the speaker's face. There is a label on the back of the amp
that says it is 90 watts. The speaker I am using says that it is rated at
100 watss/50RMS whatever that means. The only problem I am hab=ving with
this is that when I crank it up and play loud, the sound kinda cuts out
briefly. Am I overdriving the speaker somehow? This doesn't happen when I
turn the volume pot down. There are som more tubes I want to try replacing.
What else should I do as far as refurbishing this amp goes?. What kind of
speaker combination should I get for it? All advice appreciated.


TIA, 

Alex...
